Production Companies

When making the decision as to whether our film should be commercial or independent we considered a number of reasons. Big commercial production companies such as DreamWorks, Universal and Pixar are able to use high end equipment and editing software, they are able to create CGI (computer generated imagery) with editing software and create realistic dangerous stunts through the use of special props and setting. These films are often shown in the cinema and gain great popularity and positive reviews. Due to the fact we are limited to editing software and filming equipment we made the decision to produce our opening sequence under an independent production company. The company we chose to use was Film 4, a British film production company owned by Channel 4. This means that our film would not be shown in the cinema but would appear on the television. As we are limited to available equipment we are using a ‘Canon Legria Camcorder Plus’ camera and editing our footage in 'Adobe Premiere' we will use this equipment to the best of our knowledge in order to attain the best results possible. 

In order to further make our film appear as independent we created a new production company logo. We decided to call our production company ‘Take Two Productions’. We created our logo using Photoshop and when adding it to Adobe Premiere at a later date we will animate it with the use of sound effects and transitions. The name Take Two Productions is associated with television/film; hopefully this will become memorable for viewers. This could potentially enhance the viewer count also due to the fact people could inform their families/friends about the name.
